Development and validation of the trans-omics model for pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Aim: To develop a trans-omics-based molecular clinicopathological algorithm for predicting pancreatic adenocarcinoma prognosis, we performed a comprehensive analysis of the expression levels of mRNA, DNA methylation and DNA copy number in The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset. Materials & methods: Based on the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method - COX regression analysis, a trans-omics-based classifier was established to predict overall survival. Nomogram was constructed by combining the classifier band clinical pathological characterization. Results: Based on trans-omics, we developed a 10-gene-based classifier and a molecular-clinicopathologic nomogram for predicting overall survival with satisfactory accuracy. Conclusion: Trans-omics-based classifier and molecule-clinicopathological nomogram based on the classifier can accurately predict the prognosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients.
